Sedona Lace Brush Set Review/Giveaway

I'm back with another giveaway and review. We're all on the search of high quality yet affordable makeup brushes. More and more brush companies have sprouted up over the years and it's hard to know which ones are worth the hassle. As a beauty blogger, I try to do a thorough job of testing and reviewing products so that you all can some direction on your cosmetic purchases.

This time around, I worked with Sedona Lace again to show you one of their newest releases - their brush line.

First Impressions
The first thing I thought about when I saw these brushes was, "Hmmm, looks pretty similar to Sigma Brushes." That was actually a good thing because I love Sigma Brushes and these also happen to be cheaper. However, I'll show you in this review that the brushes actually aren't the same.

The brushes come in a lavendar/pinkish colored brush roll. I really love when you get a brush roll with a set...it protects your brushes and they're great for storage and travel. When I do gigs with one client, I'll oftentimes just bring along the one brush set and work out of it. It's a lot more convenient that way because you don't have to worry about packing certain brushes...this kind of set contains all the brushes you need for a full face application.

I was able to do a couple of tutorials using these brushes...including my recent Kim Kardashian tutorial.

I might just throw in one or two crease brushes if you do advanced makeup application. The brush roll is a leatherish like material with some decorative veining on it. The actual brushes have a pink handle and silver ferrule with the Sedona Lace logo imprinted on them. Personally I love anything pink...but if you're not into it, this is the only color they have for now.

The brushes have a light weight to them but they're not flimsy. The handles are on the long side which some may or may not like...they don't bother me. If you want more control, pick up the brush closer to the bristles...for a lighter touch hold it closer to the back of the brush.

Washing The Brushes
I experienced minimal shedding on some of the face brushes. I shampooed this set about three times and there really isn't any shedding at all more. The brushes also held up to quick brush cleanser cleanings. I experienced no bleeding and no weird smells.

Now I'm going to break down the brushes. They don't have numbers or names but they list the type of brush on the website.

Duo Fibre Brush
Nice for applying liquid foundation. Not quite as dense as some of my skunk brushes but not too flimsy either. Also great for light application of cheek or highlight color. Very similar to the Sigma version.

Foundation Brush
Standard foundation brush. Synthetic bristles are tightly packed and won't absorb too much product saves you from wasting foundation. Very similar to the Sigma version.

Large Angled Contour Brush
This brush is a lot more fluffy than my MAC version. You can use it for contour but I prefer it for blush since it's got a bigger head. I would recommend keeping the plastic sleeve on this one so that it keeps its shape.

Concealer Brush
Really nice synthetic concealer brush with a pointed tip. Great for reaching tight spots. Very similar to the Sigma version.

Medium Angled Shading Brush
The angled tip makes this brush great for reaching into the outer v or inner corner of the eye. I actually prefer these for nose contouring - works great!

Small Angled Brush
I like this brush better for filling in eyebrows than for eyeliner because it's a little on the larger side. That is, unless you're doing a larger winged liner look aka the cat eye.

Large Shader Brush
I was surprised to see how large this brush was. It's synthetic and makes applying eyeshadow bases or concealers super quick!

Tapered Blending Brush
This is super similar to the MAC 224. It's a fluffy, long crease brush. If you use this brush correctly, it makes you have an amazing color fade on your crease. Also nice for applying cream concealer.

Pencil Brush
It's always great to have one of these in your collection. I use them for applying lower lashline color. It's got more of a tip than the Sigma version which makes it easier to use. You can also use it for defined crease application.

Eye Shading Brush
Great for packing on lid color. Dense and nicely cut bristles. Since it's thick it also helps to blend out edges. Similar to the SS239.

Eyeliner Brush
This brush actually is better for lips in my opinion. It's a little too big for eyeliner. It's also nice for fancy decorative work.

If you want pictures comparing the Sigma vs Sedona Lace brushes, check out Goldie Starling's Blog, she gave a great side by side comparison.

Pricing
The 12 Brushes and Brush Roll retail for just $49.95. Say what! That's such a good deal. It's nearly half of the price of some of the competitors. Make sure to use coupon code renren for additional $4 off. The shipping is also fast and efficient.

Overall
These are really nice brushes for the money. If you're looking for a brush set this is a great investment. As a makeup artist, I recommend having at least two complete set of brushes so that you can switch in between clients.

You can find these brushes at www.SedonaLace.com. While you're there you can also check out their various makeup palettes and new line of mineral makeup. Have fun!

TGIF Ren! I would love to win these brushes!! I am a HUGE fan of Sedona Lace: I have their concealer palette and their 88 eyeshadow palette, and am happy with their products... and the brushes are pink?! score!!! :)

I would love to win this brush set! I have been on a hunt for some decent brushes, Ive had my MAC brushes for about 8 years and its about to time to get some new ones to add to my KIT! Great Review! You sold me!

I would like to win this brush set because I am a beginner with wearing makeup and can't afford to purchase all of the brushes I need right now. Plus, I have recently become obssessed with the color pink! Thanks so much for having this giveaway!! :-)

I would love to win these brushes because I'm in need of some very good brushes. Especially if they are comparable to the Sigma brushes which get so many rav reviews (and I've been saving for). Thanks for this opportunity.

I would love to win these brushes for many reasons. 1. Im a freelance makeup artist new to the craft and these would be great to have2. I have limited funds so buying good quality brushes isn't always practical if my bills are to get paid3. They're pink and I like pink4. I promise if I win the first thing I'll do is a makeup tutorial with them5. Cause ren ren is tha bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your videos are great always so informative and fun to watch. I'd love to win this brush set because I'm a doctoral student starting a freelance makeup side hustle and I'm certain this Sedona Lace brush set would be a wonderful addition to the makeup kit I'm in the process of building. Thanks again for the great blog, great vids and great advice.

Hello Renren ! i would like to win this brush set because it's adorbles, and i been looking for makeup set that's simple and work for really long time. Also, i want to be a make up artist, win this will help me step to my goal. thanks.

Hi Ren! I would love to win this brush set! First off, I loove anything pink as well! I am trying to build up my brush collection and ufortunately being out of work at the moment hasn't allowed me the finances to do so. Esp w/ quality brushes. Hope to win! Thank you! )

The reason I'd like to win this Sedona Lace brush set is because I'm currently in the process of learning how to do drag and, like all baby queens, what exists of my collection needs a lot of work. I currently only have 3 eye brushes and 1 face brush that I got in an N.Y.C. Color brush set and, no matter how much effort I put in to looking flawless, they just don't do the trick. I would really enjoy winning these brushes because it would give me the opportunity to step up my game with much more professional tools than a $3.99 mini-set of brushes.

I also wanted to add that I really appreciated your review on the Sedona Lace concealer/foundation pallet and that you did a contouring how-to. It really helped me to see what I should be doing and I'm definitely planning on picking that pallet up when I can.

Not even a face brush that is decent.

Hey! :) I would looove to win this brush set because I have just started to become properly interested in make-up recently and only have two brushes which arn't of the best quality. ! would love to have a few nice brushes for a smoother application!and of course they are pink!! :D :) thank you for this give away!! :)

Hi Ren, I'd love to win this brush set because I feel like good brushes make a total difference in the way your makeup applies. I really only have two eye brushes and one powder brush and I try to use those for everything! Which isn't great because you can't always get a good blend with a stiff flat brush!

All in all, this would be really great for me and I can then actually wear makeup more often, and detailed defined makeup at that, without having to feel silly while wearing it. Thank you!

What's up Ren? I would like to win these brushes because I have a very limited amount of brushes and all of the brushes that I see in stores are like 15 dollars for a good blending brush, and that's at walmart! WTF?! I know right and I don't have a job, i've put in applications everywhere! This economy is killing me. So i'm paying to take my ACT so I can get into a good college, plus college tuition, and car fees, and plus you have to have at least one clubbing night, right?! After that, I don't have 15 dollars for ONE brush! So I would lOVE to win these brushes, plus PiNK is FiYAHHH!

Anyways, love your youtube videos and your makeup tutorials. My youtube name is S0koola and I've been subscribed to you for some time. Looking forward to more of your videos and hope that I can win this item. Thanks girl!
